On November 21, 2008, President Bush arrived in Lima and checked into the JW Marriott, where Laura Bush joined him and where he met that afternoon with Chinese President Hu Jintao. Over the following days he returned to the hotel between summit sessions and after the leaders' gala dinner. The hotel sits on the Malecón, the clifftop promenade of Miraflores, with sweeping ocean views and the Larcomar shopping center across the street.
